Frieze Art Fair under construction in Regent's Park, in 2009.

Frieze Art Fair is an annual contemporary art fair first held in 2003 in London's Regent's Park. Developed by the founders of the contemporary art magazine Frieze, the fair has since expanded to include editions in four cities, in addition to acquiring several other art fairs. Following the original Frieze Art Fair (also referred to as Frieze London), the fair added Frieze Masters (2012), also in London, dedicated to art made before the year 2000;[1] Frieze New York (2012);[2] Frieze Los Angeles (2019);[3] and Frieze Seoul (2022).[4] In 2023, Frieze acquired The Armory Show in New York, and EXPO Chicago.[5]

In 2016, American holding company Endeavor acquired a majority stake in Frieze.[6]
